Mission

Governance

The MilOps Domain is stewarded by the Joint Staff, as requested by the DOD Chief Information Officer (CIO). A MilOps Domain Configuration and Control Board (MilOps CCB) was formally stood up in March 2014. The MilOps CCB manages domain content and addresses technical issues arising from the development of Information Exchange Package Documentations (IEPDs) using MilOps Domain Content.
